Hey guys,

I just purchased an '08 silver IS350 a while back, and it's about time that I say hi! I've been a member for a while now, and read a lot of informative posts by you guys!

I initially wanted to purchased an Evo X, but I needed a car that's more suitable for daily driving and for business purpose, so I went with the 350 since the two vehicles have comparable stock straight-line performance! Plus, I've noticed the decent aftermarket support for the IS since I joined this club, so mods will always be an option!

Having said that, I've been looking at the Tein CS coilovers with the EDFC to improve the handling, the adjustability, and its supposed "comparable ride quality to stock", but I will need to do more research before I make the costly purchase!

Anyways, nice to meet you guys!

yes do the tein cs route. I have those and they're actually pretty comfortable. But then again that depends on how low you wanna go.
